Anyone have any experience with garden tools?
I've used the Tormek to square up the ends of shovels.
Angles? For which tools?
Iwas thinking about manuel hedge clippers, electric hedge clippers, grass clippers, tree limb clippers, hoes, small hand trowels, ect.
Yes, I've sharpened most of those. Lawnmower blades, too.
The scissors jig (SVX-150) can be used for the hedge clippers. I don't know about the electric hedge clippers.
The following came up with a quick Google search. Can't verify the angles now, will try to look in some old material that I have on such. Files and hones will work great on some tools. Be sure to pay attention to the bold print section.
Bevel Angles
Before you begin to sharpen hand tools of any type it is important to know the proper bevel angles for specific tools. A garden hoe or shovel should have a seventy-five degree angle along the edge. Be sure to observe the original bevel of the hand tools you intend to sharpen in an effort to maintain the proper angles.
Hedge clippers: 45 degrees
